Welcome to a new series of The Netmums Podcast with Wendy Golledge and Alison Perry! To kick off Series 15, we're diving headfirst into the world of body confidence, diet culture, and New Year's resolutions with the inspiring Laura Adlington and Lottie Drynan. Known for their advocacy in self-esteem and body positivity through their social platforms, podcast and live shows, these ladies are here to challenge the norms and celebrate every body type.

Laura and Lottie share their personal journeys towards body acceptance, highlighting the impact of diet culture and the importance of being kind to oneself. Laura opens up about her life-changing decision to cancel bariatric surgery and embrace her body, while Lottie talks about overcoming disordered eating and IBS.

The conversation delves into the societal pressures women face, the billion-dollar diet industry, and the importance of questioning why we feel the need to change our bodies. Our guests share their insights on how to navigate the balance between health and self-acceptance, and the role social media plays in shaping our perceptions.

Laura and Lottie also discuss their upcoming show, Same Teresa, Different Bodies at the London Palladium, promising an empowering and uplifting experience that celebrates fashion and body confidence.
